Key Points

  • The study aims to assess the correlation between geo-mapping massive transfusion protocol (MTP) data and trauma occurrences to improve prehospital blood management.
  • Analyzed massive transfusion protocol data in hospitals.
  • Mapped MTP activations to trauma locations.
  • Identified areas with high demand for prehospital blood management.
  • Geo-mapping of MTP data aligned strongly with known trauma sites.
  • Supports using MTP activation as a marker for prehospital blood management needs.
  • Aids cities in planning equitable resource distribution.

Abstract

Geo-mapping MTP data strongly correlated with known traumas, supporting MTP activation as a surrogate marker for PHWB need. This offers a novel method for cities to plan PHWB programs by determining high need zones and ensuring equitable and cost-effective distribution of scarce resources.
